Welded In the Fast.

DOWLING-SAVAGE. Is. by
the Rev. Father Manoney, Edward DOwl-
ing to Mamie f. Savage, daughter of DIR.
Savage and niece Of the late we'll known
DR.. Hogan, of l19 East Twelfth street.
The above from the New York Herald
is interesting to the many friends of MIR.
Bowling, who was formerly in the dry
goods business here, and for years was
promi nent in business circles. The
woman whom he has thus won and wed
is said to be a highly cultured woman,
who has also the good fortune to possess
an estate which reaches a half million
dollars or more in value. Mr.. Dowling
has been very successful in his own bust
ness career, and the union is therefore in
a double sense joining of fortunes as
we'll as of hearts. The Council Bluffs
friends join in the brightest of well
wishes

Living Inha bitants or Caverns.

October Scribner: The living inhabi-
tants of caverns, those which make these
regions of continuous darkness their
abiding places, are numerous and OF the
greatest interest to the naturalist. Of
the several hundred species known to
students, by far the greater part belong
to the group of articulated animals, in
sects, and crustaceans, these being the
forms which, of all animals, are the most
varied in structure and best suited for
the odd chances of life which the caverns
afford. AS the reader we'll knows, the
great problem now before science is to
determine how far the shapes of living
creatures are determined by the circum-
stances of the world about them, and
how far this determination has been
brought about through a process of selec-
ton, in natural way of those varieties
which have some accidental special fitness
for the conditions IN which thev live.
Cavern-animals afford us a capital bit
of evidence toward the solution of this
problem. The prevailing close affinity of
their forms with those which live IN the
upper world of sunshine and changing
seasons shows. beyond question, that
they are all derived from similar forms
which once dwelt in the ordinary condi-
tions of animal life. What, then, are the
effects arising from the complete change
in the circumstances of these under
ground creatures?
The facts are perplexing in their var
iety, and by NO means we'll worked out,
but the following points seem to be we'll
established, VIZ: There is manifest
tendency of all gayly colored forms to
lose their hues III the caverns and to be-
come of an even color. This may be eX-
planned by the simple absence of sun
shine, and on it no conclusions can be
based. The changes of the structural
parts are OF more Importance; these. as
might be expected, relate mainly
to the organs of sense. The
eyes show an evident ten.
dency in all the groups to fade away. In
the characteristic cavern. fishes they have
entirely disappeared, the whole structure
which serves for vision beng no longer
produced. In the cray-lishes we may
observe certain graduation. Some species
which abound in cavernS are provided
with eyes; others have them present, but
SO imperfect that they cannot serve as
visual organs; yet others want them
altogether. One species of pseudo scor-
plon, as shown by Prot. Hagan, has in
| the outer world four eyes, while in the
| caves it has been found with two eyes,
| and others in an entirely eyeless cOndl-
| ton. Some cavern beetles have the males
| with eyes, while the females are quite
| without them. AS a whole, the cavern
forms exhibit Il singular tendency of the
| visual organs, not only to lose their
functions, but also to disappear as body
| parts. At the same time there is an
| equal, or even more general development
| of the antenna and other organs of touch;
these parts become considerably length
ened, and apparently of greater sensi-
| tlveness, change which Is of manifest
! advantage to the individual.

A Successful Syndic ate.

The forty acres formerly known as the
h. &. tract and later put into the Omaha
addition, has been owned by syndicate,
which, by it's trustee, has sold off goodly
portion of it. The unsold lots, together
up yesterday among the individual mem-
bers now owning an interest. Those
who were in at the finish were j. &.
Shriver of Omaha, N. Merriam of Hime-
baugh g. Merriam, Samuel Haas, II. w.
Tilton and S. Saunders Il Son. There
has been wonderful advance in the
value of this property since the original
syndicate was formed. Two years ago
all, with market value of perhaps 500
an acre, with no one wanting to buy.
The original syndicate bought 1t at $500
an acre, and the newspapers of this city,
with the exception of the BEE, were slow
to believe that it was not mere bit of
wind. The investors were satisfied, and
the property began at once to advance,
and rapidly. Some of the original
owners sold out their interests at double
what they paid, and others sold at $500
an acre. 1t was plated, and lots have
been selling rapidly from $3.50 upwards.
Those who have bought lots have been
fortunate also, for these lots are sure to
double in much shorter time than such
profit could be realized by ordinary
investment The closing division proved
a satisfactory one to the syndicate, who
have made han dsolne return on their
investment thus far.
The history of all syndicates here has
not been so satisfactory. There are some
which embraced so many individuals rs
to render settlements and handling
rather difficult, and many who went into
| such combinations during the mining
camp excitement which prevailed in real
estate circles last spring have tired of
such complications and would gladly
hold their property individually.
The result of this syndicate shows that
there are numerous chances in Council
Bluffs to make money in real estate, and
wise investors are quietly picking up
property, feeling confident that the fu
ture prices are to bring back handsome
return for the money.

An accident occurred yesterday morn
ing at the corner of Fifth and Glen ave.
nues by which one life was lost and
others momentarlly jeopardized. A
man named Robert b. Martin was
the victim of the disaster. Coroner
Faul was Immediately summoned and
proceeded to empanel jury. The body
was ordered removed to the undertaking
rooms of Morgan, Keller 4 Co., the
patrol wagon, which was early upon the
scene, serving as means of conveyance.
The facts regarding the sad affair may
best be learned from the testimony of
eye witnesses, which is here given as
brought out at the inquest:
jess LITER, with two other men, was
helping deceased load a wagon with dirt,
when almost without warning the bank
caved, and before he could get out was
knocked under the horses and partially
buried by the falling mass. Helped ex-
cavate the body, which was about two
and one-hali feet under the surface, with
the neck across the tire of the rear wagon
wheel.
+. U. Gleason-Arrived Just after the
accident and assisted in excavatlng the
body, which was buried to the depth of
two or three feet with neck across the
tire. Hadn't noticed the bank pre-
viously. The location was Fifth avenue.
in the street.
Jess LITER, Recalled-At the time Of the
accident, was working for John Kelley,
who was few rods away.
John Kelley-Was near by when the
accident occurred. Am always very
careful about the bank, and didn't think
there was any danger. Do not know the
deceased. Came to me about an hour
previously and wanted job. Told him
to take shovel and 60 10 work. Con-
sidered him sober.
The Jury then retired and shortly re-
turned a verdict in accordance with the
testimony
Martin was a married man about
thirty-tive years of age and lived with his
wife at 613 Tenth avenue. He had been
resident here since last April, coming
here from Plattsmouth, and worked for
some time at his trade, painting, for ID.
5. Brenneman.
Attorney Ewing, of Iowa City. u
brother in law of the deceased, was noti-
fled of the event, as was also Mr.. K. NJ
Stewart, of Flint, Mich, the father of
Mrs. Martin, who started last night for
this city. The funeral will be postponed
until his arrival.
No blame was attached to any one, but
the need of increased vigilance and
extra precautions on the part of those
having such work in charge, is very evi-
| dent to everyone.

Great Cities.

The Epoch: Cities with 100000 In-
habitants and upward have never been
plentiful in any age OF the world. and
their number is very limited now. There
are four such cities in Europe, three or
four in Asia, and but one on this conti-
nent. The doubt in regard to the mum.
ber in Asia arises from the fact that il is
difficult to determine whether the claim
of Marking to 1,OOO,OO inhabitants IS
correct or not. Assuming it, however.
TO be just, the rank of the very great
cities Of the world, based on thr census Of
1880 and 1881. would stand as follows:
London, 4, 766, ,66l; Paris. 2'269, ,023; Can
ton, 600, 600; New York 1, ,2O6, $50; Toxic,
l,l4O. $50; Berlin, ,lsa, 800; Vienna, 1,l03,.

The round numbers given as represent
ing the three Chinese cities named have
very suspicious look, and perhaps they
ought to be thrown out Of the account
entirely. Certainly, Chinese or Japanese
estimates or partial enumerations are not
to be placed beside n properly taken CEN
sus. A singular illustration of the folly
Of estimates was furnished by the case of
Toxic, which was once believed to be the
most populous city in the world, and to
have 1000, 600 inhabitants. When a cen.
sus came to be taken the population
of the city was found to be as
stated above, and this number
includes the suburbs. The population of
the city proper was but Sl1 $40. In the
figures given for Vienna, the suburbs are
also included. As London is not a city,
in the proper sense of the term, but an
aggregation of municipalities, the pOpu-
lation given is that of the metropolitan
and city police districts which cover a
very large area, about twenty square
miles. A similar area about New York
would take in all of Kings county, half
of Queens, Westchester, and Richmond
counties. as we'll as Jersey City, Newark,
and numerous smaller towns in New
Jersey, with an aggregate population at
the last census of at least 2,250, 900, and,
of course, Il much larger population now.

Unhappy Couples.

There were few assessments at the po-
lice court yesterday morning. Jake
Shoup contributed $50 for his little in
diligence and went on his way rejoicing.
Mary Scheve appeared and swore out a
warrant charging her husband, Frederick
Scheve, an elderly German, with assault
and battery. She said he put her out of
the house and locked the door, refusing
to let her have her clothes. When brought
into court from his home on Third ave.
nue. he asked for an interpreter, and
Mayor Groneweg being in the room his
services were called into requisition.
After quite an extended argument be.
tween the two, Judge Aylesworth con-
cluded that it was nothing worse than q
family quarrel and discharged the de-
fendant upon payment of costs, which
amounted to $4.6O. The buXom Mary
was advised to go home and get dinner
for her lord and master, and be careful
in the future that only one got mad at a
time. The Judge remarked that the next
time she married, younger man might
be more conducive to domestic felicity,
and casually spoke of one or two things
to be guarded against in her present re-
latiOns.
